oatingmommy Good luck with the family thanksgiving thing!!!! My advice is to pick one treat you love above all else and indulge in a reasonable bit of that and focus on veggies and protein for the rest.

Jacqui as it is the scale I will be using from here on out, in my eyes it is the accurate one! I'm glad that the batt fixed the problem with your scale!

gardener woot! maybe you will even see a new low tomorrow if the current low stuck with eating out

mainecyn congrats on 12 days binge free!!!! my will power is fairly weak so i feel you with worrying about a celebration! I find do best when I plan ahead what I will and will not eat and how much. Maybe try that out?

BFR woodstock and learning to live You are all doing great! keep it up!

Feeling inspired by people reaching new ever lows this month ! Well done Rhiko, learningtolive and others!!

Well, things have not gone to plan (four drinks instead of three, but hey better than five!?, a pizza and shared cheese plate later) - my head is shouting 'go on enjoy yourself, you're on holiday'. Am completely resolved to stick to my stoopen and healthy lunch goals tomorrow.

Turtle: C’mon back 154!

Jacqui: Glad to hear you confirmed the 180.5. Roll on 170’s!! P.S. I drink a lot of water, but I rarely drink it plain. I always add Mio to mine.

Joy: It’s nice to be able to eat out occasionally and not suffer any scale consequences.

183StGB: A nice day to you too!

boatingmommy: Good luck with your Thanksgiving celebration!

Woodstock: Not to worry…145 is just around the corner. Thanks for the cheering me on to 138…I hope my scale pays attention!

Pixi: I feel like I’m using a memory scale, given my weight is the same day in, day out!

Learning 2 Live: Congrats on getting to 158 for the first time!

Minneey: Sending more willpower dust your way…

kalijpa: Every pound counts…

Rhiko: Congrats on getting back to your lowest weight!

mainecyn: You no doubt overstated your weight this morning if you didn’t adjust for your clothes.

BFR: Congrats on this week’s loss!

It sounds as if everyone is doing very well. Hope you all have a strong finish this weekend.

I feel that I had a very good week this week. I was hoping to lose a bit more but I am pretty sure I have gained some muscle this week. I finished Week 1(6 days) of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. It was hard but fun at the same time. I hope that next week is a good number too. Today was my 11th wedding anniversary so my hubby and I will celebrate Sunday with dinner and a movie probably. Tomorrow is cheat/rest day AND I am going to see P!nk! I will behave and eat better but I will add some water weight I am sure

Good morning everybody

it's really cold over here, and my bottom jaw turned yellow yesterday I fought it with a lot of make-up and a scarf. Nobody would have noticed if I wasn't that much of an over-sharer
I'm not in pain though, so there is nothing standing between me and studying today unfortunately.

Jacqui_D I think your scale was trying to make you happy with showing a low number -- you should let it But I'm positive you'll get there soon anyways well done on the drop anyways.

pnkrckpixikat yay, new scale!! Sorry to hear they are not showing the same weight. I was wondering -- is there a way to be 100% sure that the scale is right? I feel like they're all a little off, one way or the other. Congrats on the loss though!

boatingmommy enjoy your pre-thanksgiving! Like the other said, just fill up on the healthy options. And if you want something outside your plan, you should have a controlled portion of it, afterall you're there to enjoy yourself Hope you have a good time.

gardenerjoy woohoo!

mainecyn congrats on 12 days binge-free! You can will make it through the weekend, I'm sure. Enjoy yourself!

Big Fat Rooster Great loss! Well done!

Woodstock nice drop -- keep going!

Learning 2 Live never seen low? That's amazing!

Minneey pizza and drinks and still a loss? I'm jealous! well done

Tuscany maintenance is better than a gain you're doing awesome. It'll go down soon!

Have a lovely day everyone!

Good morning everyone,

Seems like 159 is holding on to me for dear life. I've gotta find a way to shake him off. Gonna hit the gym with my sister this morning for moral support. Plus the workout could won't hurt me either.

Pixikat, let's see some good things with that new scale!

Okay Minneey, back on plan today! Only 1 cheat day a week allowed!

Tuscany, I've never tried Mio. I'll have to look for that!

Mainecyn, I hope you have a good weekend also! You're doing great!

Happy Anniversary Amanda! I hope your DH and you have a wonderful celebration tomorrow! Good job with the JM workout!

Woohoo 183! 2 lbs down!

LfChanges, good idea to spend some gym time! I hope you get that scale moving soon!

Boatingmommy, yay! You broke 160! Have fun today!

Kelijpa, hopefully that bounce up will soon be followed by a bounce down!

Not stepping on the scale this morning because had a great deal of sodium last night and don't want plain ole water weight give me fake results that will go down after drinking a couple glasses of water.

I still didn't binge last bite. I did use my exercise ball this morning for awhile doing stretches for my back and hips. Having surgery on the 13th and the stretches help releve some of the pain from the bulging discs in back. Ive also found if I lay across it on my back and roll I can feel it helping tighten my legs and saggy butt using those muscles. Lol.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

I was super busy yesterday and barely got a chance to eat. Today I will not only be less busy, but I will also be going out to dinner. And I'll most likely have drinks. Ugh. The salt and alcohol will probably kick me back up. I don't even want to go out tonight, but I promised my friend that I would double date with her and her new beau. I don't even know the guy I'm being paired up with. It's a blind date. So I'd much rather be elsewhere....
